' Specification of Letters Patent.

Application led October 14, 1907- Berielio. @971248.

North Andover, county of Essex, State of `Massachusetts, have invented an lrnprovement in Pulley-Sustaining Hangers, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawing, is a specification, like letters on the drawing representing like parte.

In setting up machinery in factories it is frequently necessary for the millwright to locate a pulley at an angle to another `ulley and that this may be done and the pul .ey be sustained iirinly in its desired position l have made the hanger to be herein described and claimed.

Figure 1 shows rny novel hanger in a proper position, the face of the pulley standing in a horizontal plane, and Fig. 2 is a sectional detail showing how the hanger may be ad'usted to occupy an inclined osition.

ln the drawing A represents et it be sup posed part of a mill ceiling, and B a socket plate secured thereto by suitable bolts or lag screws C. The socket plate has a concavity or socket provided with a central opening c, and the under side of the socket plate is made convexed or partially heini-spherical as at c. The concavityV of the socket plateY sustains the under side of a semi-s herlcal nut b of a bolt, the shank b ot' the bo t being preferably threaded thereinto, see dotted lines Fig. 2

said bolt extending through the o ening c and also through an o ening d in t ie upper end of the hanger D orked as usual to receive between its legs a pulley E.

The exterior or top of the hanger is circular in shape and presents a circular rib or track d beveled at one side, while the under side of the top part of the hanger is shown having a concavity d3 surrounding the openingd, said concavity receiving the convened top Side of a semi-s herical washer' d* which is sustained by the ead b4 ol' the bolt. The underside of the socket plate B outsid .its semi-spherical portion is also provided with a traes; e.

Between the tracks d and e, l intcrpose means for changing the angle of the hanger with relation to a perpendicular line, said means in the plan in which l have hcreln chosen to illustrate iny invention in one oi' its best forms, comprising two rings f, g, 'vari ing in Width, i. e. each ring being wider pary allel to its center at some points than at other-points, as shown in the drawings.

'.l he lower end of ring f is 'shaped to fit the interior of the circular track d and also to rest on the upper side thereof. The upper end of the upper ring is shaped to iit the track e, and the abutting ends of the tworings are so shaped that one ring can be' turned on the other and their Working con-l nection be maintained. Each ring will be so constructed that Wl'ien the bolt is loosened, either or both rings may be turned more or less, as for instance, said rings may have Spanner holes 2, or their eouivalent studs, that may be readily engaged. Before turn ing the rings which constitute hanger tipping means to place the hanger in any diag-cna position, the bolt b will be loosened so that it may swing and. adjust itself to the position required for the hanger, and then the boltis sot up 'tight to l ck the hanger in its angular osi'tion.

'lhc headed bolt is extended through the hanger and tipping means, and said bolt, its nut b, and washer d4 constitute universally adjustable connections between the hanger and the socket plate to enable the hanger to be adjusted to any desired angle by moving the hanger tipping means, the bolt having a hall and socket connection with both the hanger and the socket plate. The hanger receives a pulley shaft if, to which ma f be secured in any usual manner as by a bo t z. the

llavingA fully described my invention, wh at l claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent istl. il plate having' a soun-spherical socket and provided with a circular trau-fk, a hunger having a circular track at its cud adjacent theplate, two rings interposed between the tracks, the rings varying in width and con testing one with the other, a holt having a senil-spherical portion seated in the socket of the plato, and a bally and socket connection between the bolt and the hanger.

2. A plato having a sehn-spherical exto rior and jirovided with a track, a hanger having at its upper end a circular track, and two rings interposed between seid hunger and 1n testimony whereof, I have signed my track, smd rln'gs varymg 1n Wnlth and con name to thls spemicatlon, m the presence of tactmg one Wl'th the other, and e bolt cntextwo subscrlbmg wrtnesses.
